                         characterize the variability in seasonal and spatial patterns of 
                         photosynthetic vegetation activity along an eco-climatic gradient 
                         extending from the diverse Brazilian cerrado to the seasonal 
                         tropical forest at Tapajos National Forest, including transitional 
                         biomes at Santana do Araguaia and land conversion areas. The NDVI 
                         and EVI at 500-m and 1-km were used to generate the seasonal 
                         profile curves with the aid of quality assurance (QA) parameters 
                         for noise removal and data filtering. The seasonal patterns of the 
                         cerrado were pronounced with distinct dry and wet seasonal trends. 
                         We observed decreasing dry-wet seasonal patterns northward along 
                         the transect and in the transitional areas near Santana do 
                         Araguaia. However, we observed a reversed seasonal pattern at 
                         Tapajos National Forest in which vegetation activity increased 
                         during the shorter dry season. This was attributed to the flush of 
                         new leaf growth in the dry season and the influence of 
                         epiphyll-covered, older leaves in the wetter periods.",
